PRAY FOR GREATER REVIVAL FLOODS ON ALL ASSEMBLIES DURING 1929
Vol. 5. No. 1
JANUARY, 1929
OVERFLOWING LIFE
MR. WILLIAM E. BOOTH-CLIBBORN
r^1
The subject of this discourse is
'' The Overflow , of* Life in the Christian Experience." If you will turn
with me to the latter part of the
ioth verse of the ioth chapter of John's
Gospel we will smidy a statement from the
lips of Christ: /" I am come that they
might have life, and
that THEY MIGHT
HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY." The original reads thus—
" Have it in/ excess," or 'I too
much.''
First: Let us consider Life.—Taere is
not a man that does
not love lifet and
cling to it as long as
possible. We have
only to pourtray
certain incidents, as
the sinking of a
steamer, or a serious public calamity
such as an earthquake or a tornado,
to realise how a
man will struggle
for life and give up
all he has to retain it. We have only to
walk through the wards of a hospital and
see how wealthy men think nothing of
pouring out thousands of dollars to effect
a cure in order to cleave to life. Satan
sometimes tells the truth when it fits his
purpose. He spoke the truth when he

Overflowing life, overflowing
service, overflowing power, over'
flowing prayer, overflowing sacri'
fice, overflowing joy; a super*
abundance of all that is Divine,
eternal, spiritual and heavenly.
The Lord grant unto us one
and all an overflowing 1929.

said, "... yea, all that a man hath will
he give for his life " (Job ii. 4). God did
not deny the statement. Life is inestimably precious; we are here but once; only
one person was ever born in your mould ;
your nature, your characteristics', your
face and form are original, and there
never has been nor
will be a duplicate
of it. Therefore
your chief natural
instinct is self-preservation : the next,
to make most of
your life. If this be
so naturally, how
much more so
spiritually!
Second: Let us
consider the Expression of Life.—
Now we know many
people, though physically alive, are
really " dead."
Many are alive, but
that is just about
all.; they can scarcely drag one leg after
another; some have
to be led by the
hand. Others eat herbs—diet devotees !
How many merely lead a hot-house existence; flabby muscles, inert dispositions,
insipid faces, bloated with fat: or the
other extreme—anaemic, bloodless ! Exertion exhausts and prostrates them. To
